Rockies' Feltner Injured, Peralta Called Up

0:00On April 25th, Rocky's just slapped Reihander Ryan Feltner on the 15-day injured list with right-owner nerve inflammation in his elbow. They called up lefty Sammy Peralta from Triple A to fill the spot. This came right after Feltner lasted only two innings in Thursday's 8-10 loss to the Padres. Manager Warren Schaeffer downplayed it as just a bit of elbow inflammation. The MRI came back looking solid, so the team hopes Feltner misses only the minimum time, and slots back in quick. Feltner's season has been rough so far. His ERA sits at 6.30, over five starts, and 20 innings. Batters are crushing him with a 49.2% hard-hit rate, and 15.9% barrels. Injuries have dogged him his whole career, from back spasms and shoulder woes last year to that brutal skull fracture from a line drive to the head. Back in 2023. The pitching staffs already thinned with Kyle Freeland on the IEL since April 13th for shoulder inflammation. He threw a solid simulated two innings midweek, so he might return when eligible.
